Man have I said lately how I love those giant spider mechs? :-)
Just had to say it.

I was just scrolling by and muttered, 'Gawd, how beautiful...'

The cabochon-glass front definitely gives one the subtle feeling of spider eyes.

Just first rate....

What about those "stallion" stema striders of the Brits? Any notes on them, or closeup photos?

I'm currently down in Bognor Regis visiting the inlaws so it'll have to wait until Monday, but sure, I'll take some pics.

Here you go, Stallion Steamstriders. Pics are a bit dark, sorry, can't seem to get the light right. GW sentinel legs attached to the GZG/Eureka tank instead of tracks and a machine gun put into the 'turret'.

Copplestone Officer for scale. Slightly bigger pics available at the Flickr site.

Doh!  :o  :o  :o

My French have an almost identical walker to your stallions, but in Mars red rather than British racing green! Its due for weathering tomorrow. It should be appearing at Salute to provide close support for my cavalry (if I get the sods finished in time).

Those dastardly spies! Although, they've been shown many, many times in their unpainted state over the years so the spies wouldn't have had to work too hard :)

The flags are removable so I'll be bringing them as Papal support.

And a tree update! Will have 8 of these done by the weekend, I hope. A quick shot to show the construction stages.
